That photo of her with the huge socks on is so delightful. Make sure you store your digital photos somewhere safe so they are never vulnerable to being lost in a crash. I put things on flickr and wish I had more on there. I'd eventually like all of the photos I printed years ago scanned and put somewhere they'll be preserved.

And take video - lots of it - those voices change so quickly and it's something you'll want to hear again. Beautiful babies, Sarah.

When I work at daycare, I pinch the babies cheeks when the parents leave. Not hard r anything, but really soft - while I make fart noises. The kids crack up giggling. Its my habit, I can't help it. I would pinch Sarah's kids cheeks all the time, if I could.
Amber those trees look a jillion years old. Love your house. Wish we had hard wood floors. And bookshelves, gosh I need to scout estate sales for a set.

I will need bookshelves as well. Right now there aren't many books but we will accumulate some in no time, I'm sure. The more complicated part of getting book shelves is making sure they are sturdy. I think the flimsy ones are for people who have more knick knacks than books to store.

I imagine Ritt's personal life is so insane, he could never really tell us about it because we'll think he's crazy or lying. Like he was probably running from a drunken uncle in the snow and decided to take that picture.

It's fine on flat roads, especially with front-wheel drive. Grades are mostly the problem. You get someone at an uphill stoplight just gunning the engine and going nowhere. Ya gotta ease it as slowly as possible in first or second gear. Thankfully I've got one of those tiptronic transmissions where I can manually shift up and down from automatic, otherwise it'd already be in fourth gear at like 15 mph. When it gets really snowy, I walk a lot more often. Last weekend I hiked two miles on solid ice for tacos and smokes. Mostly smokes.

And Pete, yeah, apartment parking's a problem. Thankfully the spot next to me was already half mounded over from someone else, so I just used that. Usually I have nowhere to put the snow and end up creating really high, narrow piles between cars.

Did I mention I drive a Charger?

And, I'm sorry Gordon, I love you, but you just dropped down a few points after seeing that you smoke. Come on, man!

You have to start stopping more than twice as far as you normally would. The 4x4 vehicles all drive like assholes because they have no problems driving in it. But they do have just as much trouble stopping, so they get in a ton of accidents. Some times the worst part isn't the snow, it's the fact that most people are terrified to drive in it. So they drive too slow. The drive to work takes more than twice as long.

There have been huge accidents on our main expressways (freeways?). You have to wake up earlier than normal for work so you can dig your car out.
